Apple Plans Billion Manufacturing Plant Investment in Indonesia, Minister Says

Apple Plans $1 Billion Manufacturing Plant Investment in Indonesia, Minister Says

Published by Webster

Tech giant Apple plans to invest $1 billion (roughly Rs. 8,500 crore) in a manufacturing plant in Indonesia that produces components for smartphones and other products, Indonesia’s investment minister said on Thursday. In October, Indonesia banned sales of the iPhone 16 because it said Apple had not adhered to rules that require phones sold domestically to have at least 40% locally made parts. And this week, the government said it would increase the local content requirement. Investment minister Rosan Roeslani told reporters that details of the planned investment were still being ironed out, but when asked confirmed it was the expected $1 billion investment he had flagged earlier this week. “We will discuss with them some more … our hope is for everything to be announced in the next week after receiving a written commitment from them,” he said. Last week, the government had rejected a $100 million (roughly Rs. 850 crore) investment proposal from Apple to build an accessory and component plant as not enough to reverse the iPhone 16 ban. Apple did not …

iPhone SE 4 launch: Why some users should skip iPhone 16 and wait

Published by Parlour News

If you’re on the fence about whether to buy the iPhone 16 standard model right now or wait for a future iPhone model, there are multiple schools of thought. As things stand, skipping the iPhone 16 and waiting for the iPhone SE 4, at least for a select group of people, could be a wise move in the long term. There are several reasons to support this argument, including the price, the use case, and the sheer value that the iPhone SE 4 is expected to bring to the table. Let’s discuss all of these reasons and explore why pulling the plug on the iPhone 16 right now may not make much sense for most buyers. The iPhone 14 Pro series gets a new 48-megapixel camera, alongside an upgraded display which is rated as the brightest in the smartphone ecosystem so far, a new notch called Dynamic Island and an always-on display which makes its first appearance on iPhones.

Published by Webster

Apple is expected to introduce its iPhone 17 lineup in the second half of next year. While there have been speculations about Apple including a new iPhone 17 Air model in the series, a new report from South Korea suggests that all iPhone 17 models will come with a LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide) screen with high refresh rate. This would be a significant upgrade from the previous iPhone series.

Apple Offers Modest Growth Outlook After iPhone Sales Help Beat Profit Expectations

Apple Offers Modest Growth Outlook After iPhone Sales Help Beat Profit Expectations

Published by Webster

Apple’s AI-enhanced iPhone made a strong start, pushing quarterly sales ahead of Wall Street expectations, but a modest revenue forecast raised questions about whether that momentum will hold over the holiday sales season. A decline in China sales during the fourth quarter also concerned some analysts and investors, helping send shares down 1.4% in after-hours trade, despite surprisingly large overall profit and revenue in that period. Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri told analysts during a conference call that Apple expects overall revenue to “grow low to mid single digits” during its fiscal first quarter, which ends in December. Analysts had expected revenue growth of 6.65% to $127.53 billion during the quarter, according to LSEG data. Apple did say it expects double-digit growth in its services business in its first quarter, leading some analysts to ask executives during a call if overall hardware revenue might decline. Executives did not address that question, or give any indication of how the iPhone might fare, including in China, where Apple’s new AI features are not available. Apple has not …
